Ricardo Alberto Magana and Parker Leann Frazee recorded six property filings in Lewis and Clark County on a single day last week — buying a home, selling another, and declaring a homestead exemption, all on June 11, 2026. The flurry of activity, spread across four recorded instruments, points to a household that has been active in the local market and is now planting roots in a specific property they intend to protect under Montana's homestead exemption.
The couple acquired a property from Nicholas D. Bright and Jamie K. Bright on June 11, recorded in Book M65, Page 4788. On the same day, Magana and Frazee transferred a lot in Pioneer Village Subdivision Phase II — Lot 31 — to Juliana R. Alfaro and Osmar B. Campos-Diarte, recorded at Book M65, Page 4777. That Pioneer Village parcel, identified by property number 594881, moved out of their hands the same morning they were recording their new acquisition.
Also on June 11, Magana and Frazee filed a Declaration of Homestead with the Lewis and Clark County Recorder. Under Montana law, a homestead declaration shields a portion of a primary residence's equity from creditors — it is a routine but deliberate legal step that signals the couple considers their newly acquired property their permanent home. County records indicate at least one of the buyers may be based outside Montana, which makes the homestead filing notable as a statement of intent to establish primary residence here.
Taken together, the same-day sale, purchase, and homestead declaration suggest a coordinated move: the couple closed out their position on the Pioneer Village lot and simultaneously secured and legally protected a new primary residence. For the Alfaro-Campos-Diarte family, the Pioneer Village lot acquisition represents a new foothold in a subdivision that has seen steady turnover in recent years.
